The procurement is aimed at acquiring laboratory, optical, and precision equipment for scientific research and training purposes. The tender is in the award stage, with a closing date of 21st October 2022. The University, located in Coventry, United Kingdom, is seeking suppliers to provide the required equipment for their advanced bioimaging facility. This tender from the University of Warwick presents an opportunity for suppliers of laboratory, optical, and precision equipment to engage with a prestigious institution in the education sector. Businesses specializing in the manufacturing and supply of scientific instruments would be well-suited to participate in this tender process. The procurement method for this opportunity is an open procedure, allowing various suppliers, including SMEs, to compete and potentially secure a contract with the University. ## Notice The University of Warwick has a requirement to purchase a mass photometer instrument for the Advanced Bioimaging Research Technology Platform (RTP). The Advanced Bioimaging RTP helps researchers answer their scientific questions using state-of-the-art 3D electron microscopy and light microscopy imaging equipment. Our strategy is to offer this advanced bioimaging capability and the expertise to deliver high impact results to researchers both at Warwick and beyond. The Advanced Bioimaging RTP provides the training and expertise required to operate the equipment as well as providing a service to users. Due to successful funding from BBSRC, Alert14 and more recently the founding of the Midlands Regional CryoEM Consortium (established 2017 through PS4.9M funding from MRC and partner universities Warwick, Leicester, Birmingham and Nottingham), we have one high-end microscope (Jeol 2200 FEG-TEM with internal energy filter) and a state-of-the-art camera (Gatan K2 Summit Direct electron detector ### Lot Information Lot 1 The University of Warwick has a requirement to purchase a mass photometer instrument for the Advanced Bioimaging Research Technology Platform (RTP).

In order to support characterisation of challenging samples for structural biology using cryo-electron microscopy we seek a mass photometer instrument that will enable us to measure particle size distributions in complex protein samples. The Advanced Bioimaging RTP is service-oriented, and has users from multiple disciplines (Life sciences, chemistry, physics and engineering), therefore ease of use and reliable performance are essential.
